Brampton Bryan
Trewlany, Jamaica
Brampton Bryan Estate, like many other sugar plantations in Jamaica had a legacy of slavery overseen by British plantation owners (at least one of the claimants of the compensation awarded to slaveowners following the abolition of slavery in Britain in the 1830s was Scottish: Alexander Grant of Aberlour). Ex-slaves were officially free in Jamaica in the 1890s when the drawings in our collection were produced but they were still bonded by servitude to a labour and social system that was ultimately restrictive and racist.
